The
comedy
show,
which
went
on
air
in
June
2013
on
Colors,
gives
a
distinctive
take
on
the
everyday
life
of
a
common
man
as
the
show
explores
the
story
of
every
household
and
how
the
show's
common
man
played
by
Kapil
is
affected
by
the
simplest
issues
in
life
around
him.
"The
initial
contract
was
of
26
episodes.
When
the
shooting
started,
the
channel
thought
of
extending
it
to
36.
When
I
shot
two
to
three
episodes,
they
told
me
let's
make
it
50.
After
it
went
on
air
and
seeing
the
response,
they
said
let's
make
it
100
and
after
10
episodes,
they
told
me
to
do
as
many
as
high
up,"
Kapil
told
reporters
here
in
a
group
interaction
during
the
launch
of
"Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
8".

The
show,
which
also
featured
Bollywood
celebrities
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Akshay
Kumar
and
Karisma
Kapoor,
consists
of
actors
like
Sumona
Chakravarti,
Ali
Asgar
and
Upasana
Singh.
Comedian
Sunil
Grover,
who
quit
the
show
last
year,
has
again
joined
back
and
Kapil
is
happy.
He
added:
"When
you
work
with
good
artists,
it's
good."
Kapil
is
delighted
with
the
positive
response
for
his
show,
but
he
would
like
to
act
in
movies
too.
"People
do
250
films,
still
nobody
knows
their
name.
I
am
fortunate
that
people
know
me
and
this
is
all
because
of
the
show.
As
an
artist,
I
would
like
to
grow,
so
I
am
trying
to
balance
the
show
and
my
movie
assignments," said
Kapil,
who
was
slated
to
make
his
Bollywood
debut
with
Yash
Raj
Films'
"Bank
Chor"
but
is
now
out
of
the
project.
The
show
has
been
lauded
by
celebrities
like
Lata
Mangeshkar,
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Sonakshi
Sinha.
